Description

Terahertz active phased array antenna
Technical Field
The invention relates to a terahertz active phased-array antenna in the technical field of electronics.
Background
The terahertz (THz) frequency band is defined as an electromagnetic band with the frequency of 0.1 THz-10 THz and the wavelength of 0.03 mm-3 mm, is between microwave millimeter waves and far infrared rays, and is in a transition frequency band from electronics to photonics. Terahertz radiation has coherence due to a mechanism generated by the coherence, and the amplitude and the phase of an electric field can be directly measured by the coherence detection, so that the absorption coefficient, the refractive index and the like of a sample can be accurately extracted, and the measurement accuracy is improved. The energy of terahertz radiation is only one tenth of the energy of X-ray photons, and the substance to be detected cannot be damaged due to photoionization. And the terahertz radiation has good penetrability to a plurality of nonpolar materials and dielectric materials. In various millimeter wave/terahertz systems, a transceiver of electromagnetic energy directly determines the performance of the system, such as communication capacity, transmission distance, imaging quality, and the like. At present, the devices mainly comprise a parabolic antenna, a dielectric lens antenna, a parabolic reflector and the like, but the devices have the advantages of large volume, heavy weight, non-planar structure and high requirement on processing precision, so that the devices are difficult to be applied to a millimeter wave/terahertz system with a compact structure. In recent years, the terahertz technology has been developed and applied in the fields of communication, nondestructive testing, biomedicine, and the like. As an important component in a terahertz application system, the terahertz phased-array antenna is very deficient, and the development of the terahertz application technology is limited. Real-time dynamic errors are introduced due to hardware circuit design and manufacturing of the terahertz phased array antenna. The real-time dynamic errors comprise device errors of a hardware circuit, amplitude/phase dynamic errors of the devices influenced by environmental temperature (low temperature, normal temperature and high temperature) and dynamic amplitude/phase errors introduced along with frequency change when the dual-signal source is used; in a terahertz frequency band, such as 300GHz, the processing precision of 0.01mm also brings about a phase error of 3.6 °, which often results in that the phased array antenna needs to be processed for many times to meet design requirements, and the manufacturing cost is very high. In the conventional frequency modulation continuous terahertz wave technology, a local oscillator signal time domain wave mode and an echo time domain signal wave mode which are the same in the same type are adopted, and an obtained difference frequency signal does not change along with frequency and cannot be applied to spectrum type ellipsometry, so that some new design methods are often required to be provided to meet the use requirements of users. At present, there are several methods for designing a terahertz phased array antenna.
The first method is a design method using a lens antenna, for example, chinese patent No. 2019 CN201811516500.5 discloses "a space lens scanning antenna based on elliptic paraboloid of revolution phase distribution and its beam scanning method", which is far superior to the lens antenna designed based on the traditional aplanatic principle, but during beam scanning, its phase error is unchanged with the increase of scanning angle, and cannot be fundamentally corrected or solved.
The second method is a method for designing a terahertz phased-array antenna using liquid crystal material phase shifting, for example, the MASTER paper published in 2018 with the classification number TN82 and the Hefei University Technology MASTER' S distettionon (academic MASTER) mainly reports the reflective liquid crystal phase shifting unit of the terahertz frequency band and the reflective phased-array antenna formed by the same, analyzes the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules under different voltages, and introduces a method for measuring the dielectric constant of the liquid crystal under different frequency bands. A reflection type liquid crystal phase-shifting unit with a double dipole structure is designed, and the phase-shifting characteristic of the unit is simulated and analyzed. And based on the liquid crystal reflection unit with the double dipole structure, a terahertz reflection array antenna consisting of 40 multiplied by 40 units is designed, finally, the radiation characteristic of the terahertz reflection array antenna is calculated in a simulation mode, and the calculation result shows that the antenna can realize the scanning capability of-20 degrees to 20 degrees. However, the liquid crystal reflector antenna has a complicated surface structure, and thus is difficult to process in a high frequency band. In addition, the liquid crystal phase shift is greatly influenced by the ambient temperature, the phase shift precision is not high, and the engineering application is greatly limited.
The third method is a photoconductive phased array antenna design method based on optical delay control, for example, chinese patent No. 2017 CN201611117374.7 discloses "a terahertz photoconductive phased array antenna system", which is applied to improve the radiation power of an antenna array and change the beam pointing angle by introducing an optical delay controller into the pump light path of the photoconductive antenna array and controlling the radiation phase.
The fourth way is to use a classical phase shifter or vector modulator method to realize the terahertz phased array antenna. For example, a 4-channel integrated phased array transmitter chip applied to a 0.34THz high-speed communication system is researched in a document of '0.34 THz high-speed wireless communication transmitter chip design' published in the journal of terahertz science and electronic information, 2015, and the like. The chip integrates a 21.25GHz phase-locked loop frequency source, a 4-frequency multiplier and a 4-way Wilkinson power division network, each path of phased array channel comprises an 85GHz power amplifier, an analog phase shifter, a 20Gbps binary on-off keying modulator, a 4-frequency multiplier and a 2 x 2 chip antenna array, and simulation results show that the phased array system can realize +/-12-degree angle scanning on an E surface, the 3dB beam width is 11.9 degrees, and the Effective Isotropic Radiation Power (EIRP) of the system is 12 dBm.
The fifth mode is to use an oscillator circuit to realize frequency multiplication and beam scanning of the terahertz phased array. For example, the document "A0.28 THzpower-generation and beam-steering array in CMOS based on distributed active radiators" published by IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, 2012, K.Senguta et al, studies an inverse design method to achieve a change in the current distribution on the metal surface by using a triple frequency injection phase-locked oscillator in combination with a distributed active radiator to produce a desired radiation pattern. The distributed active radiator is a self-oscillation active electromagnetic structure and consists of two metal rings, generates out-phase current at fundamental frequency and in-phase current at second harmonic frequency, and realizes antenna radiation. The 4 x 4 phased array adopts a 45nm SOI CMOS process to realize that the EIRP value of the phased array antenna is 9.4dBm at 0.28T, and the scanning ranges of the azimuth plane and the pitch plane exceed 80 degrees.
Recent reports, such as "a 0.34-THz wideband wide-angle 2-D radiating phase array in 0.13- μm SiGe BiCMOS" published by IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, 2019, h.jali et al, study a 2 × 2 phased array integrated circuit, the circuit structure is composed of four standing wave oscillators, each oscillator unit can filter out fundamental frequency and odd harmonic components of the phased array antenna, so as to realize effective radiation of the fourth harmonic component of the phased array antenna, and realize phase shift of terahertz phased array beam scanning by generating standing waves or traveling waves between excitation sources; the phased array is realized by adopting a 0.13-mum SiGe BiCMOS process, can realize beam scanning of 128 degrees/53 degrees on a two-dimensional plane, and has the maximum radiation power of-6.8 dBm within the range of 318GHz-370 GHz.
In summary, all the existing methods for designing terahertz phased array antennas reported in domestic and foreign documents do not report how to design and implement terahertz phased array antennas effectively under the condition that hardware circuits of the terahertz phased array antennas have real-time dynamic errors. Secondly, for some detection imaging applications, the terahertz phased array antenna needs to adopt a dual-signal-source structure, namely, waveforms with different frequencies are adopted for a transmitting source and a local vibration source, so that dynamic amplitude/phase errors changing along with the frequencies can be introduced, and the normal work of the terahertz active phased array antenna can be ensured only by real-time compensation. Therefore, for the terahertz active phased array antenna, how to correct the amplitude/phase error generated by the design and manufacture of a hardware circuit to enable the performance of the terahertz active phased array antenna to reach the best is not a determined technical scheme at present.

Detailed Description
See fig. 1-5. In an embodiment described below, a terahertz active phased array antenna includes: terahertz antenna array 1 wafer level hybrid circuit 2, active feed network 3 that connect in order, wherein: the active feed network 3 is connected with an artificial neural network 9 which is connected with a wave controller 10 and an artificial intelligence library 11, and is also connected with a transmitting source 5 which passes through an N-time frequency multiplier 4, a mixer 6 which is connected with a user receiving terminal and a local vibration source 8 which is connected with the mixer 6 through an M-time frequency multiplier 7.

In the whole receiving/transmitting state, the wave beam synthesis and the wave beam scanning of the terahertz active phased array antenna are both started and connected with an artificial intelligence library 11 of an artificial neural network 9 under the control of a wave controller 10, the artificial neural network 9 compares the obtained accumulation of hardware circuit errors of a transmitting link or the receiving link of the terahertz active phased array antenna with the correlation of a priori knowledge data sample according to the input priori knowledge data sample of the artificial intelligence library 11, if the correlation is greater than 0.999, the artificial neural network 9 directly calls an amplitude control code matrix and a phase control code matrix in the priori knowledge data sample and outputs the amplitude control code matrix and the phase control code matrix to a wafer-level hybrid circuit 2, and the wave beam synthesis and the wave beam scanning of the terahertz active phased array antenna under the error correction condition are completed; if the correlation is not larger than 0.999, the artificial neural network 9 starts an automatic quantization algorithm to correct the amplification, phase shift and real-time dynamic errors of the wafer-level hybrid circuit 2, correct the real-time dynamic errors of the N-time frequency multiplier 4, the active feed network 3, the M-time frequency multiplier 7 and the mixer 6, finally output a new set of amplitude control code matrix and phase control code matrix to meet the beam synthesis and beam scanning of the terahertz active phased array antenna, store the obtained new data sample into the artificial intelligence library 11, and continuously update the artificial intelligence library 11, so that the artificial neural network 9 has the autonomous sensing, coping and evolution capabilities, and the artificial intelligence of the artificial neural network 9 is enhanced.
In an optional embodiment, taking an 8 × 8 active phased array antenna working at 336GHz to 384GHz as an example, when the terahertz active phased array antenna works in a transmitting state, a radio frequency signal with a working frequency band of 28GHz to 32GHz, which is sent by a transmitting source 5, is frequency-multiplied (x 12) to 336GHz to 384GHz by an N-fold frequency multiplier 4, and then is distributed to a wafer-level hybrid circuit 2 by an active feed network 3, and under the control of a wave controller 10, the terahertz active phased array antenna starts an artificial intelligence library 11, inputs a priori knowledge data sample to an artificial neural network 9, so that amplification, phase shifting and real-time dynamic error correction of the transmitting signal are realized, and finally, beam synthesis and beam scanning are realized by the terahertz array antenna 1.
When the terahertz active phased-array antenna works in a receiving state, a terahertz array antenna 1 receives an echo signal in a 336 GHz-384 GHz frequency band and transmits the echo signal to a wafer-level hybrid circuit 2, under the control of a wave controller 10, the terahertz active phased-array antenna starts an artificial intelligence library 11, a priori knowledge data sample is input to an artificial neural network 9, amplification, phase shifting and real-time dynamic error correction of a received terahertz signal are achieved, and the received terahertz signal is combined by an active feed network 3 and then transmitted to a mixer 6; meanwhile, the local oscillation signal with the working frequency band of 27.9 GHz-31.9 GHz sent by the local oscillation source 8 is subjected to frequency multiplication (multiplied by 6) by an M-time frequency multiplier 7, then the local oscillation signal with the working frequency band of 167.4 GHz-191.4 GHz is output, enters a second harmonic mixing mixer 6, is converged to receive the signal with the working frequency band of 336 GHz-384 GHz which is subjected to down-conversion to 1.2GHz and is sent to a user receiving terminal, and under the control of a wave controller 10, the terahertz active phased array antenna starts an artificial intelligence library 11, inputs a priori knowledge data sample to an artificial neural network 9, corrects the dynamic phase error which is introduced under the conditions of the local oscillation source and the non-coherent emission source and changes along with the frequency, and finally completes the target detection and imaging of the user receiving terminal.
1) When the terahertz active phased-array antenna works in a transmitting state:
in the first step, the artificial neural network 9 autonomously senses and acquires the accumulation of hardware circuit errors of the terahertz active phased array antenna transmission link.
After the frequency of the radio frequency signal with the working frequency band of 28 GHz-32 GHz sent by the emission source 5 is multiplied by the N-time frequency multiplier 4 to 336 GHz-384 GHz, the introduced signal amplitude error is α1(t) phase error β1(t) and changes in value with changes in the operating temperature t.
After the terahertz signal enters the active feed network 3 through the N-time frequency multiplier 4, the introduced amplitude error α of the active feed network 32(t) and phase error β2And (t) the amplitude/phase error of the channel consistency of the 1-to-64 power division network and the amplitude/phase error of the driving stage power amplifier integrated in the network are contained, and the value of the amplitude/phase error changes along with the change of the working temperature t.
The terahertz signal enters the wafer-level hybrid circuit 2 through the active feed network 3 to finish the amplification and phase shift of the transmitted signal, and the wafer-level hybrid circuit 2 integrates a final-stage power amplifier and a phase shifter and can introduce a wafer64-channel signal amplitude error α of stage hybrid circuit 23(t) and phase error β3(t) and changes in value with changes in the operating temperature t.
Therefore, when the terahertz active phased-array antenna works in a transmitting state, the accumulation of hardware circuit errors of a transmitting link is autonomously sensed by the artificial neural network 9, and the total amplitude error of the hardware circuit is

And secondly, the artificial neural network 9 corrects real-time dynamic amplitude/phase errors of the terahertz active phased array antenna to realize transmitting beam synthesis and beam scanning. Under the instruction control of the wave controller 10, the artificial intelligence library 11 outputs a priori knowledge data sample

If the correlation R isiA=|α(t)/σi0.999 and R=|β(t)/iIf the condition of | is greater than 0.999 cannot be met at the same time, the artificial neural network 9 starts an automatic quantification algorithm and outputs a group of new amplitude control code matrixes meeting the requirements of terahertz phased-array antenna transmission beam synthesis and beam scanning

Fig. 2 and 3 show that when the terahertz active phased-array antenna of the present invention operates at 360GHz, the cell spacing is 0.4mm, and the transmission beam scans 30 degrees, the artificial neural network 9 respectively obtains an amplitude error correction diagram and a phase error correction diagram by using an automatic quantization algorithm, and it can be seen from fig. 2 and 3 that the result output by the artificial neural network 9 is consistent with a target value, so as to achieve a good effect.
2) When the terahertz active phased array works in a receiving state:
in the first step, the artificial neural network 9 autonomously senses and acquires the accumulation of hardware circuit errors of the terahertz active phased array antenna receiving link. The terahertz antenna array 1 receives a terahertz signal with a frequency range of 336 GHz-384 GHz and then enters the wafer-level hybrid circuit 2, and after amplification and phase shifting of the received signal are completed, the amplitude error of the introduced signal is1(t) phase error η1(t) of (d). The wafer-level hybrid circuit 2 integrates the final-stage low-noise amplifier and the phase shifter, which may cause signal amplitude errors of 64 channels of the wafer-level hybrid circuit 21(t) and phase error η1(t) will vary in value with changes in the operating temperature t.
After 64 terahertz signals received by the wafer-level hybrid circuit 2 enter the active feed network 3, the signal amplitude error of an 8 × 8 channel introduced into the active feed network 3 is2(t) phase error η2(t) of (d). The active feed network 3 integrates the driving stage low noise amplifier, which may cause signal amplitude errors of 64 channels of the active feed network 32(t) and phase error η2(t) changes in value with changes in operating temperature t. Meanwhile, the local oscillator signal with the working frequency band of 27.9 GHz-31.9 GHz sent by the local oscillator source 8 is multiplied by the M-times frequency multiplier 7 and then outputs the local oscillator signal with the working frequency band of 167.4 GHz-191.4 GHz, and the amplitude error of the introduced local oscillator signal is3(t) phase error η3(t) of (d). The amplitude error of the local oscillator signal3(t) and phase error η3(t) will vary in value with changes in the operating temperature t.
Finally, after the local oscillation signal output from the M-time frequency multiplier 7 enters the mixer 6 of second harmonic frequency mixing, the local oscillation signal is combined with the received signal of which the working frequency band is 336 GHz-384 GHz and the terahertz signal is down-converted to 1.2GHz to be sent to the user receiving terminal. In the process, the local vibration source 8 and the emission source 5 respectively adopt different working frequencies, so that dynamic amplitude errors changing along with the working frequency f are introduced into the down-conversion signals4(f) And dynamic phase error η4(f) In that respect Signal amplitude error4(f) And phase error η4(f) The value of the frequency mixer 6 changes with the change of the working frequency f of the emission source 5 and the local oscillator 8, and the frequency mixer is a dynamic quantity which changes with the working frequency f. Therefore, when the terahertz active phased array antenna works in a receiving state, the accumulation of hardware circuit errors of a receiving link is autonomously sensed through the artificial neural network 9, and the total amplitude error of the hardware circuit is

Under the instruction control of the wave controller 10, the artificial intelligence library 11 outputs a priori knowledge data sample

And for the wafer-level hybrid circuit 2, the receiving beam synthesis and the beam scanning of the terahertz active phased-array antenna under the condition of error correction are realized. If the correlation R isiA=|(t,f)/σi0.999 and R=|η(t,f)|iIf the condition of | is greater than 0.999 cannot be met at the same time, the artificial neural network 9 starts an automatic quantization algorithm and outputs a group of new amplitude control code matrixes meeting the requirements of terahertz active phased-array antenna receiving beam synthesis and beam scanning

And phase control code matrix

To the wafer level hybrid 2. And the obtained group of samples are stored in the artificial intelligence library 11, and the artificial intelligence library 11 is continuously updated, so that the artificial neural network 9 has the capabilities of autonomous perception, response and evolution, and the artificial intelligence of the artificial neural network 9 is enhanced.
Fig. 4 and 5 show that when the terahertz active phased array antenna of the present invention operates at 360GHz, the unit spacing is 0.4mm, the received beam scans at 45 degrees, and the taylor weight is 20dB, the artificial neural network 9 respectively obtains an amplitude error correction diagram and a phase error correction diagram by using an automatic quantization algorithm, and it can be seen from fig. 4 and 5 that the result output by the artificial neural network 9 is consistent with a target value, so as to achieve a good effect.
In the scheme, the wafer-level hybrid circuit 2 is a hybrid analog and digital circuit, integrates elements such as a final-stage power amplifier, a final-stage low-noise amplifier, a switch, a power compensation circuit, an attenuator, a phase shifter, a serial port circuit, digital control, a capacitor and a resistor, and mainly has the function of amplifying and shifting terahertz signals of the terahertz active phased-array antenna.
In the above scheme, the artificial neural network 9 is a deep neural network, and may also be a BP neural network, a knowledge artificial neural network, a radial basis function neural network, a self-organizing competition artificial neural network, or a recurrent neural network.
In the scheme, the artificial neural network algorithm is an automatic quantification algorithm, and can also be a Fletcher-Reeves algorithm, a Polak-Ribier algorithm, a Powell-Belle algorithm, a Quasi-Newton algorithm and a Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm.
In the scheme, the active feed network 3 integrates the driving-stage power amplifier and the driving-stage low-noise amplifier, so that the final-stage power amplifier can work in saturation when the terahertz active phased-array antenna transmits, and the gain of a receiving link can meet the requirement of a user receiving terminal when receiving.
